SlimTim go to the head of the class!

I wonder if it was just coincidental that it has a 17 rd capacity (where legal) or if it was just too good to pass up as a model number.

I'm still waiting for Glock to come out with a limited edition Yellow Blue and Red LEGO gun....that would be awesome...bet they would sell out in a matter of days.
